BMS Group, an independent specialist insurance and reinsurance broker, has appointed Charlie Rozes as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director.
Rozes will assume his new role in November, succeeding Nick Moss, Group Finance Director, who is retiring.
Reporting directly to Nick Cook, CEO of BMS Group, Rozes will collaborate closely with Cook and the executive leadership to drive the firm’s strategy, organic growth plans, and BMS’s global M&A program.
Rozes will also join the BMS Group Holdings board and lead M&A efforts, with specific responsibilities in strategic planning, risk management, and internal audit functions.
Cook expressed enthusiasm for Rozes’ appointment, stating, “I am delighted to announce Charlie’s appointment. He has extensive experience leading UK and overseas operations and has successfully driven substantial growth for global and FTSE organisations. His experience will be crucial as BMS looks to continue its momentum, hit its growth ambitions, and further its reputation as the home of an innovative, collaborative and high-performance culture.”
He added, “I would also like to thank Nick Moss for his tremendous contribution to the company over the past five years. Nick has been a driving force behind the incredible growth in BMS and we all wish him well in his retirement.”
Rozes brings three decades of industry experience to his new role, with a proven track record of delivering sustainable and profitable growth in global organisations.
Rozes joins BMS from IG Group, where he worked for four years, most recently as Chief Financial Officer & Executive Director. During his tenure, Rozes spearheaded the strategy that transformed and expanded IG Group into a global online trading platform and digital content provider catering to self-directed traders and investors.
Prior to IG Group, Rozes was Group Finance Director and Executive Director at JLT Group and oversaw its acquisition by Marsh & McLennan.
Rozes has also held various senior roles at firms including Barclays, Bank of America, and PwC.
Sharing his excitement for his new role, Rozes said, “It is with great enthusiasm that I join BMS. Nick and his team are exceptional, and this is reflected in the tremendous growth BMS has been able to achieve. The opportunity to return to the insurance industry means a great deal to me, especially given the opportunity to contribute to BMS at this exciting stage in its growth. I am thrilled to join the team and look forward to working with my new colleagues.”
